Giants DFA Justin Smoak, reinstate Alex Dickerson

Alex Dickerson is back! The San Francisco Giants reinstated the powerful outfielder on Monday, ahead of their series opener against the Colorado Rockies.

Dickerson was placed on the Paternity List on Saturday, and on Sunday his wife gave birth to their child, Levi Ross.

The Paternity List is a very short option in MLB, unfortunately, so Dickerson had to be reinstated for Monday’s game.
